Usher Cancels OMG Tour Concert In Berlin For The Second Time In A Row
Superstar Usher was supposed to kick off the European leg of the OMG Tour yesterday in Berlin. However, after support act Tinie Tempah performed his set and an hour of waiting Usher’s manager let the audience know that Usher feels ill and the doctors are with him. Since the o2 World arena was available today the show was postponed. Of course the sold-out venue went nuts. Disappointment, anger, tears, booing.
It gets even more crazy when Usher has been seen in a fancy bar drinking Vodka Tonic. That’s my favorite drink too when I feel sick!
So today: next try! Tinie Tempah didn’t perform and even though Usher was supposed to start the show at 8 pm he then came out 45 min later. Lipsynced like 5 songs and cancelled the concert again!
Can it get any worse? Oh, Usher, you make me say OMG but for the wrong reason…

Top Ten Worst Songs of 2010 - #1
I've got my empire state of mind, while Cali's only got girls acting drunk.
Nicki Minaj Open to Working with Lady Gaga
Nicki Minaj has collaborated with everyone from Kanye West to Natasha Bedingfield, but she’s got a few artists on her wish list. The Harajuku Barbie recently revealed that she wouldn’t bat an eyelash at recording with her pop counterpart, Lady Gaga.
The rap diva told E! Online that she would love to collaborate with Gaga, to whom she often garners comparisons. “A lot of people say that to me! I’d definitely be open to it, yeah,” said Nicki, who also shared that she would do a song with Taylor Swift and loves Coldplay. “I mean, Gaga is badass. Being compared to greats can never bother me.”
The Young Money MC also spoke on her video with Rihanna for “Fly” off her platinum debut Pink Friday. “We’re shooting the video with Rihanna for ‘Fly’ this weekend. We’re going to save the world in more ways than one with the video and that’s all I can say about that,” she teased. “I love RiRi! I mean, when she’s not grabbing my ass, she’s a sweet girl.”
And while her busy schedule has kept her out of a romantic relationship, the single lady is ready to find the king to her queen. “I’m single and ready to mingle,” she laughed.

Christina Aguilera to sing National Anthem at Super Bowl XLV
From “Bionic” to “Burlesque” to Bowl. Multiple sources have told HitFix that Christina Aguilera will be singing the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLV, hosted at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Texas on Feb. 6.
The FOX broadcast lists a 6:25 p.m. kickoff, which would put the pop superstar and Grammy Award winner on the field singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" shortly before the AFC and NFC champions roll out.
A spokesperson from NFL had “no comment” on Aguilera’s participation, and added ‘When we have something to announce, we will announce it.” The Black Eyed Peas are on tap as the halftime performers this year and are currently the only NFL-confirmed gameday entertainment.
Aguilera previously performed at Super Bowl XXXIV back in 2000, sharing the national stage with artists like Enrique Iglesias and Phil Collins during the halftime show. Carrie Underwood sang the National Anthem last year.
As previously reported, Aguilera had postponed her 2010 summer tour to focus on commitments surrounding the release of her latest album “Bionic” and the promotional efforts behind recently released film “Burlesque.” Live Nation and her website said that the singer would be rescheduling those stops in 2011. She currently has no tour dates listed.
